Yield:

18-22 servings (Makes 1 full 18-Inch Roasting Pan)

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Bake Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter, melted

4 tablespoons Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning Mix

1 teaspoon dried dill weed

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Build Your Snack Mix:

Fill one 18-inch roasting pan completely full with any combination of your favorite cereals, crackers, pretzels, and chips:

• Butter Spindles Pretzels (or your favorite pretzel variety)

• Cheese Bugles

• Crunchy Cheetos

• Cheez-It Snap'd Double Cheese

• Cheez-It Grooves Zesty Cheddar Ranch

• Goldfish Crackers

• Corn Chex

• Wheat Chex

• Mini Club Crackers

• Mini SunChips

• Garlic Rye Chips

Note: One full roasting pan equals one batch. The snack ingredients listed below are enough to fill the roasting pan twice, so if you'd like to use everything listed, simply prepare a second batch of the ranch butter mixture and repeat the process.

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 250°F.

Fill an 18-inch roasting pan to the top with your favorite combination of cereals, crackers, pretzels, and chips.

In a large glass measuring cup or microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the melted butter, ranch seasoning, dill, garlic powder, and onion powder until fully combined.

Slowly drizzle the butter mixture evenly over the snack mix. Place the lid on the roasting pan and gently shake until everything is evenly coated. If needed, remove the lid and give the mix a quick stir to coat any dry pieces.

Bake uncovered for 40 minutes, carefully shaking the roasting pan or stirring the snack mix halfway through baking, until lightly toasted and crisp.

Allow the snack mix to cool completely before storing. Storing it while still warm can trap moisture and make it lose its crunch.

Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
